Ultra-Orthodox educational institution offering history, English and math lessons set to open in Jerusalem in upcoming school year
Ed note–In addition to the fact that it is heavily Jewish, one of the reasons that the orthodox are such a backwards people is they they DO NOT study any core subjects such as math, history, science, etc, and instead (per the instructions of Judaism as laid out in the Old Testament) spend their ENTIRE DAY studying Torah and Talmud.
Israel has been around for over 50 years and yet ONLY NOW are they getting around to creating a school where the orthodox study other subjects other than their own supremacist, bloodthirsty religion.
And people wonder why these people swing chickens around their heads to wash away their sins and why they see nothing wrong with murdering innocent men, women and children in Palestine and beyond?

A first ultra-Orthodox educational institution teaching core curriculum subjects is set to open in Jerusalem in about three months ahead of the new school year.
The school will be established for students of the small haredi yeshivot, aged 13 to 16.
The move is seen as exceptional on the backdrop of the harsh criticism directed at the haredi sector, which usually fails to include core subjects in its schools’ curriculums.
The new institution will offer Bible, history, English and math lessons, alongside Torah studies. Students will also be given the opportunity to participate in sports, music and art classes.
Sources in the school’s management say that at the initial stage, there will be no boarding school services at the institution, which is located in Jerusalem’s Bayit Vegan neighborhood.
So far, haredi parents were forced to send their sons to distant institutions, like the Nehora, Maarava and Hayishuv Hahadash yeshivot in central Israel, in order to complete their regular studies.
The person behind the initiative is Bezalel Cohen, head of the Aguda Achat association, which helps working haredim.
Cohen recently flew to the United States to examine a similar format applied in haredi educational institutions for young boys and learn how the sector’s youth can be trained to integrate into the labor market and academic studies in Israel.
